Happy V Day xxx
May you all get some extra lovin’ today, even if it’s from yourself!
I’m not really one for celebrating it, but it’s certainly a nice reason to have extra cuddles if you do.

Behind the scenes over here I’ve been editing my little heart out as always... I feel like I’m only just keeping my head above water to deliver images to my amazingly wonderful (and extremely patient) clients and friends 🙏
It’s such a subjective thing photography, with the post processing and time frame for me to deliver them sometimes a long one. I not only struggle with indecisiveness (I’m a female Cancerian what can I say) I have massive fear of judgement, I’m a slow perfectionist, I over-analyse everything, waves of creativity come and go which I can’t control, and I’m juggling a demanding mum/teething life/ with a massive lack of sleep. In general there are also constant setbacks with technology. Before I know it sometimes it’s been weeks or months and I feel like I’ve only just blinked!
But photography has always been an ember burning within me since I can remember. Now as a flame in my soul and it feels like it’s spreading like wildfire within me.
The connections I feel with my images sometimes are unexplainable. I’m so in love yet so scared it’s just not enough most days. So perfect yet so imperfect. So emotional yet so unable to convey the story I truly see and feel about it. I cry all the time when I edit.
All I want from my clients and my followers is to FEEL something when they see these images. Raw emotion.
I’ve realised that I pour sometimes waaaaay too much of myself into my work. That this energy I most probably should be directing at my children and my husband, my home, my personal images or perhaps even myself!
But it’s my creative outlet and I need it to help me be me. And I can’t help but want to take these images for others so they have them as documentation of now.
So while I still have you I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for believing and trusting in me so far on this journey, to not only those who follow me, but to all of you who have asked me to take your photos, it means so much and I hope in your heart you are content with what you have received, because there’s always a part of my heart in there with it too 🌻🧡🌵 #alternativebride #organic #whitelight #meditate #justbreathe #resonatingwithearthwome

Motherhood.
That one thing you’re never EVER going to be prepared for.
The torturous emotional roller coasters that you (and your partners) endure. Prangry AF. Short Term Remembery Loss worse than that little blue fish from Nemo (forget her name 🤔) that seems to never go away. The time and money to groom yourself now feeling as much of the reality of a unicorn in your kitchen. Your lovely, sensitive little nipples that used to be so supple and sensitive, now at the mercy of torturous teething toddler with a broken tooth (or is that just my current situation? 🤔🗡) THEN - there’s the explosions of the purest love so intense that you think your heart might actually collapse from overload. The blubbering, ecstatic happy tears over those smiles and the connections that keep forming and hurdles you overcome together. That cheeky character that emerges from the little human that you still can’t actually fathom that grew their arms, legs, lungs and that kissable nose inside your own body.
Buuuuut, still not without floods of tears, blood and cries of hurt. Tantrums. The self doubt and fear that you’re failing with an edible yet nutritional meal (again) and the less than hospital grade hygienic situation of your home that’s become all too much the recent norm. Depressive waves of realisation you’ve left your old fun, wild and free-as-a-bird gypsy, simple life behind for yet another “journey” to chemist with a script for a sick child who needs to be quarantined for a week. Small (to large) heart attacks at least twice a day (sometimes hour) and dooming thoughts of “what if” that just keep coming (until the day we die they tell me 😩). Not to mention the delirious fatigue from the multiple night wakings that see you doing things that you probably should never share on a public media platform... no judgement here 😉
THEN, those cute little buggers break out into the most infectious giggles you can hardly deal, so cute you want the whole world hear. And then that little sense of humour only you see. The way they whole heartedly believe in magic and fairy dust and want you to play along. The way they look at you when they are sleeping(cont in comments)
